I think it's a euro-thing Dave ... you run across it in Germany from time to time too ... Rainer Maria Rilke (whose poetry you should check out if you have a chance ... fantastic. Don't read it in translation) and Klaus Maria Brandauer, the actor. And darnit, wasn't the "All Quiet on the Western Front" guy another one? (quick search on amazon) ... yah, Erich Maria Remarque.
